Hinterlands perch value went up due to materia conversion

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Materia transmutation at the goblin, the % chance to go from a tier 4 to a tier 5 went up, and the value of tier 5's went up along with the value of a lot of tier 4's. It used to be that if I got a heaven's eye IV from the goblin I'd trade it right back, they were like 7k each along with the elemental resist IV's.

Now that's really changed and any red materia is much more valuable than the junk ones, so much it's even driven elemental resist materia to 3x their price before 3.2.

So now while the quickarm IV from that fish desynth before was worth 7k that's at least tripled and you could more easily end up with a materia selling for millions than before. And even crafting tier 4's went way up this patch for other reasons, but in the end it all inflates the value of any tier 4 because of that transmutation process.

At 179dSkill the new relic items gives .10 skillup and I have obtained FC3 so far from 2 attempts. Seems like they will be good once the mats costs settle down.

Now that relic mania's calmed down a little, I gave it a shot in hopes of skimping on ingredients. Alas, it would appear these will only give you clear/fieldcraft demimateria I-III.

Any idea wha the % chance is to get a higher grade materia from Transmutation? It felt like 5% at most before.

[Sir_Hermes]

I did 100+- transmutes and it was around 15% for me

[cgbspender]

And I did about the same, got one tier V materia.

Cut the apple in half ? 8% ?

[Teiren]

Thanks. I was just wondering about a ballpark number, so let's consider it at 10%. That still seems way too low to use Grade IV materia for Transmutation instead of selling them. Even Heaven's Eye IV may retain value for hardcore raiding healers.

I don't closely follow this thread, so sorry if similar info has been posted already.
I desynthed 70 Furnace Rings while trying to find a relatively cheap source of FC3s.

Yield:

- 23 (32.9%) Clear I
- 9 (12.9%) Clear II
- 14 (20.0%) Clear III

- 5 (7.1%) Fieldcraft I (1-2x)

- 3 x1
- 2 x2

- 3 (4.3%) Fieldcraft II (1-2x)

- 2 x1
- 1 x2

- 16 (22.9%) Fieldcraft III (1-2x)

- 9 x1
- 7 x2

I'm guessing the yield rates would be the same for the other crafted zodiac items.

[Teiren]

You mean you never got any of the materials back? Only Demimateria?

[Alistaire]

And I did about the same, got one tier V materia.

Cut the apple in half ? 8% ?

Or just recognize that 100 ish is nowhere near a good sample size.
